We are delighted to announce the results of the literary translation competition - New Writing from the UK, which The British Council held in collaboration with the Institute for Literary Translation (Russia) in 2016.

We received over 5000 entries and 1500 texts from all over Russia. Our jury had a difficult time choosing the authors of the 12 best translations. The number of winners is equal to the number of novels, extracts from which were used in the competition.

We are extremely grateful to the members of the jury: Alexander Livergant, Vsevolod Bagno, Larisa Vasilieva, Tatyana Chernysheva, and Ekaterina Kuznetsova.
